I was taken aback when she asked me. Yes, I have lost weight due to my cholesterol being high (I've cut down on bad food, which I told her about), but it was the first thing she asked me when I got into her surgery. Do you think it was inappropriate? Then she said she needs to lose weight herself.
it was a compliment as if you have lost weight then the sugar in your diet has probably come tumbling down - and it would have been the sugar that caused the gum disease. A few good clean-up sessions from the hygenist or her will probably get you back on track.
When you haven’t seen someone for a while like a dentist for eg we do notice differences assuming that you’re not there every week, six months maybe. A compliment and a little jealous of what you’ve achieved.
You should do what I do in such situations, ask why they are asking. I find that being straightforward and, maybe, tactless is simpler than worrying about why someone asks something.
No, it was not "inappropriate".
Being overweight can cause lots of different health problems. Including teeth as you are probably having too much sugar.
